Reviewers
How do I become a resume reviewer? If you have significant experience in the hiring process or on search committees, we would love to hear from you. Please see this page for more information.
How many resumes would I be reviewing? That is up to you. We allow you to set the amount of reviews that you would like. Some range from 1 per month to 2-3 per year. The time might be minimal but the impact is huge!
